Q: Pilot Pricing

Q: Will Classroom Resource Kits be available for pilots?

A: CPM will offer full Classroom Resource Kits for purchase as part of a full-year pilot, one per course with the resources needed for that specific course. The Algebra Tiles Class Set manipulatives are used for multiple courses, and one is needed per classroom.

Q: How will samples work?

A: CPM can supply a sample Mathematician’s Notebook, sample teacher view, and table of contents. 

Q: Are the sample tests the same as or similar to Core Connections? 

A: Some Inspiring Connections sample tests are available. They represent a significant upgrade from the Core Connections sample assessments. Each item is tied directly to a student-facing standard. A rubric is attached to provide actionable feedback to students rather than simply a score, and questions have been aligned to new tools and approaches.
